Glimmer Train

Glimmer Train - A literary magazine that publishes short stories.

Glimmer Train is a literary magazine that was founded in 1990 by the sisters Susan Burmeister-Brown and Linda B. Swanson-Davies. The magazine publishes short fiction and essays, with a focus on discovering and showcasing emerging writers. In addition to its print magazine, Glimmer Train also has an active online presence, with articles, interviews, and other content available on its website. The magazine sponsors various literary contests and workshops, and offers resources and opportunities for writers, including a manuscript consultation service.

One reason for the magazine's appeal is its dedication to producing material that is both academically rigorous and socially engaged. The journal covers a wide range of themes, including politics, society, science, and the arts, and is noted for its thought-provoking and intelligent comments on current events. The Virginia Quarterly Review's emphasis on long-form journalism and literary non-fiction is one of its distinguishing traits. The journal has a reputation for publishing some of the most significant and influential articles and essays of the last several decades, including works by writers such as James Baldwin, Truman Capote, and Joan Didion.
